A New and Better Way

This time next month I'll be on a plane flying to Chicago. Crazy how quickly time flies. For the past week I've been back in Prague recovering from the flu/cold I had. I've been staying with the Potmas and their kids again which meant a lot of my time was spent resting and playing with the kids. I don't think I've ever played this much lego before. :) I also had the chance to see a couple of students from the first week of English camp which was good. I did do a bit of sightseeing on Wednesday and some shopping yesterday. Don't know what I'd do without the Potmas and their hospitality. Trying to figure out train schedules and lodging for my travels after English camp was a bit stressful. Still working on it. Can't say I'm fond of details but things are falling into place now. Looks like I'll be going to Vienna for a few days with Boris, then to the TEAM conference for a few days (Aug. 5 & 6) then its off to Salzburg, Venice and hopefully Sien...

Hello again! The second week of camp is well underway and things are going fairly well. Unfortunately I've caught a cold/virus so I've been doing a lot of sleeping and not so much teaching. Please pray that I'll feel better soon. My throat is sore, my sinuses are congested and I'm really tired. My head feels funny too and the meds I'm taking make me feel lightheaded so that's an experiene. The amazing thing is I'm not feeling discouraged or frustrated. Somehow I've been able to just accept things as they've come and I know that's totally God. Though I do confess I'm wondering how I'll manage another two weeks of camp. But Mark Potma did tell me that for next week I could sit out if needed. They have enough female teachers. But I don't know what I'd do with a whole week off in Prague so I'm still planning on going and just helping out where I can. Also the staff this week have been great with covering for me and making sure I...

Wow!! and double wow! I'm smack dab in the middle of my first week of English camp here in the Czech Republic. And what an amazing time its been so far. I'm so thankful God has allowed me this opportunity to come and be His hands and feet. He is also blessing me daily with little and big displays of His love. The staff for this week of camp is such a perfect fit for the ministry that it can only be God. Pray that He will continue to use us and that we will be bold. There are many non-believers who are at camp for the first time. Yesterday on the bus trip to the zoo I sat next to a lady who told me up front that she thinks God and religion are right up there with drugs and alcohol, something people just use to get through life. And she wants nothing to do with religion or God, but she respects our beliefs. Because of the political history here any type of organiztion, religious or otherwise is viewed with great suspicion. The Christians here really have their work cut out for th...
